Abstract

Switching from face-to-face learning to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging for students especially for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parents and caregivers of children with ASD struggle when adjusting to the new situation due to the lack of online supportive educational resources. This paper explores two different mediums for online learning resources; which are mobile applications and videos. The strengths and limitations of 11 mobile applications and two websites on educational videos were highlighted and compared using customized rubrics adapted from existing studies. Findings show that the existing applications require content enhancements, dynamic children-directed layout design and free access to a number of the contents. The reviewed videos on two different websites have quality content but lack explicit subject categorization as well as filtering features to help parents and caregivers access desired videos. Evaluation of online learning experience for children with ASD is still in its infancy and requires further research, especially in content development.
